12-Year-Old Undergoes Several Surgeries After Electric Bike Crash in San Luis Obispo Park

A 12-year-old child suffered major injuries and underwent several surgeries after an electric bike collision involving a vehicle near a San Luis Obispo park, police said.

Police and fire personnel responded around 4:30 p.m. Saturday to reports of a vehicle versus bicyclist collision at DeVaul Park near Spooner Drive and Welsh Court, according to the San Luis Obispo Police Department.

Authorities said the child was riding an electric bike and was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

The child was treated at a local hospital before being flown to an out-of-area trauma center because of the severity of the injuries, police said. Authorities said the child is currently in stable condition.

The driver, identified only as a San Luis Obispo resident, is cooperating with investigators.

Police said impairment does not appear to be a factor in the collision. The department’s Severe Collision Investigative Detail took over the investigation.
